myTobago – your questions, review and comment about Tobago

We stayed at the Kariwak Village from May 4th to May 12th. The short version of this review is: PERFECT!
The food is delicious, the whole place is extremely clean and the staff is super friendly. Nothing is too much and everyone is treated like a VIP.
If you are looking for the perfect place to relax, have breakfast, lunch and dinner and feel as a prince/princess than this is the place to be!

The Kariwak is centrally located in the Crown point area, comfortably close to the airport. We were never bothered by noise coming from the airport and we found the location to be central for touring the island. Part of Kariwak is a nice pool for a refreshing swim and a jacuzzi for some lazy hours.

This was our first visit to Tobago and Kariwak Village is part of the reason that made us decide to return there next year!

Thank you. This is a very encouraging review. We are staying at the Kariwak for a week starting June 30. We can hardly wait.

I was very interested to read your excellent review of the Kariwak Village as my husband and I have been considering it for our first visit to Tobago next winter. It will be our first proper holiday without our kids -now 18 and 20!! - and we rather liked the look of it. However I would be eternally grateful if you could tell me wether the air-con is quiet or if they have older noisier units. I cannot bear noisy air-con! I look forward to your reply.

I have read somewhere on this forum (sorry couldn't find it) that they have placed new airco at the beginning of 2005.

Does somebody know if there is a fridge in the room?

There are no fridges in the rooms, from what Kariwak told us. We'll be there on Thursday , so we can give you more details when we return. But that won't be before July 15.

Nikos,

Thank you, I look forward to more details.

Have just returned from 6 perfect days at Kariwak. It is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Very well managed, great, friendly staff. It's very clean and excellently maintained. The food is extremely good, fresh and beautifully prepared, although if you are there for some time you may wish to try elsewhere too for some variety. The garden and pools are lovely and it is just so easy to find peace and quiet; any noise from planes was inconsequential. I would also recommend a full body massage on site - wow - but don't plan on doing much afterwards! There are no fridges in the Garden rooms, not sure about the pool rooms. Ice buckets are provided and you can get ice from the reception/lounge area. Airconditioning is not really noisy at all. It is a fabulous place to stay. Well worth visiting.

ok, we booked for two weeks at Kariwak.

Nice to know that Kariwak is the right choice (I guess).

Lily,

Very, very relaxed after massage; spaced out and woozy in a good way!

Thnx,

I can hardly wait to go there and I will have a massage too.
that's for sure!
what were the costs?

I think, but I really can't quite remember, about US$60. Well worth it.

I looked on their website http://www.ushaholistichealth.com
Could you remember which massage you had.
I will take the Indian-oil massage I think.
